It's a nice place, service was fine. But the food just wasn't good to us. Not because it was old or cold, it was the flavor. Not sure if they put sugar in their gravy, but it wasn't the country sausage gravy I'm accustomed to. Will I go back, no.

This is hidden gem! I was skeptical at first but once I walked in , the atmosphere was just right. Music was on point and customers were eating happily. Our service was great from the moment we walked in til the time left. Food was soo good my mom told the manager that she will coming back !

First time eating here and I would have to admit that it was the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. The eggs and the potatoes were very good. The sausage patties were okay but nothing special. I ordered a link of their smoked sausage and it was very tasty with a little heat. Reminds me of a place called Opa’s in Texas that I order from online. Will definitely be coming back.

Decided on a whim to try this place .When we first walked in, we were greeted by Erica. Her smile, enthusiasm, and warmth made the place feel like a warm hug! What a great host! The wait was short, and the spring drink menu did not disappoint. We started with the berry boujee martini, which is very tasty and sweet. Courtney was our waitress, and she was so patient, knowing it was our first time she gave great recommendations! The food was top tier, the low country omelet and chicken and waffles were so good! The owner, Ruben, stopped by our table to check on us! We could tell that every plate is prepared intentionally and the customer service should be celebrated because it's rare that all staff is committed to bringing a great experience to the customer! Thanks for the wonderful meal and top-notch service we will be back!!
